Commercial Arborists built for civil standards.

Big Timber Tree Services delivers complex tree management, large-scale land clearing and civil-ready site preparation for Tier 1 contractors, councils and infrastructure owners across Queensland.

Most arborist businesses are set up for residential work. We're not.

Big Timber was built from the ground up to meet the safety, environmental and delivery standards that Tier 1 civil contractors and government clients actually require on site. We combine arboricultural expertise with civil construction knowledge to deliver sites to a civil-ready specification, reducing the need for multiple contractors and giving your project team one point of contact who understands site preparation and what comes next.

Civil-Spec Site Preparation and Handover

We clear, grub and grade to civil specifications, so your downstream contractors can mobilise without delay.

In-House Safety and Environmental Management

Every project is managed with comprehensive SWMS, EMPs and on-site controls implemented by our dedicated HSE Advisor.

Complex Removals in High-Risk Environments

From crane-assisted dismantling to steep terrain access, we handle the scopes that demand real skill and experience.

Pre-Qualified and Principal-Contractor Ready

Local Buy pre-qualified, VendorPanel registered and QAA approved, so onboarding is straightforward from day one.

Commercial tree services delivered to the highest standards

From precision pruning in botanical gardens to large-scale land clearing for major infrastructure, Big Timber covers the full scope of commercial arboriculture — safely, compliantly and on programme.

Large-Scale Clearing, Grubbing and Grinding

We deliver bulk land clearing and vegetation management to civil specifications for infrastructure, landfill, pipeline and corridor projects. Sites are graded and handed over ready for the next construction phase, with sediment controls and environmental management built in from the start.

Complex and Dangerous Tree Removal

High-risk tree removal in constrained or high-consequence environments is core to what we do. We utilise crane-assisted dismantling, advanced rope access and steep terrain methodology to safely remove trees where standard methods won't work. Every removal is planned, documented and executed to the standard your site demands.

Fine Pruning in Sensitive Environments

We manage tree health, structure and compliance in botanical gardens, heritage sites, council parks and institutional grounds. Work is carried out strictly in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4373-2007. Our certified arborists protect the assets around them as carefully as the trees they're working on.

Arboricultural Assessment and Environmental Planning

We coordinate arborist reports, Tree Protection Zones, fauna spotting and permit management to ensure your job moves forward smoothly, efficiently, and with the highest standards of compliance.

Linear Infrastructure and Access Clearing

From fire trails and pipeline corridors to road reserves and utility easements, we manage vegetation clearing along linear scopes with full environmental controls integrated throughout. Our team understands the programming demands of linear infrastructure projects and delivers to them.

Stump Grinding, Chipping and Site Remediation

After clearing or removal works, we grind stumps, process material and remediate sites to the standard your environmental management plan requires. Your site is left clean, compliant and ready for whatever comes next.

From botanical garden pruning to landfill cell clearing in challenging wet weather conditions, we've built our reputation on projects where getting it right was not optional.
